Head of Legal

Who We Are and Why Join Us

At OnMed our purpose is simple but powerful...to improve the quality of life and sense of well-being in our communities by bringing access to healthcare to everyone, everywhere. Our path to everywhere has already begun, with our innovative CareStation, a small but mighty, Clinic-in-a-Box, bringing #healthcareaccess anywhere with an outlet to plug it in. Poised to become a key component in America’s public health infrastructure, the OnMed CareStation is the only tech-enabled, AI-powered, human-delivered, hybrid care solution that combines the comprehensive experience, trust and outcomes of a clinic,  with the rapid scalability of virtual care.  

At OnMed, every role, everyday, is directly impacting the communities we serve. You’ll join a high-performing purpose-driven team, innovating to break down the barriers that keep people from the care they need.

This is not just a job...it's a movement to bring access to healthcare where and when people need it most. It’s healthcare that shows up.

Who You Are

You are a digital health-tech attorney with broad generalist experience across contracting, regulatory compliance, and corporate governance, with a particular focus on IP strategy — patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and licensing. You’ve operated as the sole or senior-most legal decision-maker inside a company and are comfortable owning the call, not just advising on it.

You are risk-calibrated, giving the business a clear, fast, defensible path forward instead of a blanket “no.” You’re comfortable managing and mentoring legal talent without a large team.

The Role

You are OnMed's senior-most legal authority, with primary ownership of IP and licensing strategy, regulatory compliance, and contracting — including final sign-off on material contracts, IP protection and licensing direction, and regulatory compliance strategy. You own the outside counsel relationship, manage and develop our Associate Counsel, and coordinate closely with our Head of Compliance. You report operationally to the Chief of Staff to CEO.

Key Responsibilities

•       Serve as OnMed’s senior-most legal authority, providing final sign-off on all material contracts, agreements, and negotiations

•       Own IP strategy and execution — patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and licensing agreements — including the IP execution calendar and prosecution strategy

•       Structure and negotiate licensing agreements and technology partnerships that protect OnMed’s CareStation technology and brand

•       Set regulatory compliance strategy and direction, including government partnerships and Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) compliance and how OnMed’s contracts with the states must be structured, state by state

•       Draft, review, and negotiate OnMed's highest-stakes and most complex contracts, while overseeing and quality-checking the Associate Counsel's contract work on routine agreements

•       Maintain and evolve contract templates, the contracting playbook, and the Legal function’s contract repository and management tools, including managing the vendor relationships behind them

•       Own risk tolerance guidance and escalation calls across the business

•       Coordinate Legal strategy with the Head of Compliance to keep Legal and Compliance aligned on regulatory guidance, HIPAA/privacy obligations, and audit readiness

•       Own corporate and state-by-state governance, including Secretary of State filings, PC governance structure, and Board resolution support

•       Partner closely with OnMed’s outside counsel and serve as the company’s legal voice

•       Manage and develop the Associate Counsel, providing oversight on contracting, entity governance, and other work

•       Advise executive leadership on the legal, IP, and regulatory implications of new products, partnerships, and markets as OnMed scales

•       Lead litigation and investigation strategy, including initial response and management of external litigation counsel

•       Deliver Board and Risk Committee reporting on material legal and regulatory risk positions

•       Perform other related role’s responsibilities as assigned

•       Deep, hands-on understanding of Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) structures required, including how contracts with the states must be built state by state — this is a required qualification, not a preference
